The Nine Best Victorian Buildings In Nottingham


Recommended Posts

Brilliant Michael, Thank you for sharing. We will have to do a tour when the weather gets better.  It's so good to see such fabulous architecture.  My favourite is The Prudential Assurance Building, but they are all great. How ever can they be replaced by todays  so called architecture. Thankfully some have survived. Hopefully for many years to come. I wonder?

The Victorians took a lot of pride in the work and whatever they made it was made to last, the mortar joints in the brickwork are so precise,the different shapes in the bricks all made with pride,and the pumping stations were built with amazing cast iron pillars all painted once again with pride,funny thing is though non of these pumping stations were meant for public viewing, here is a picture of the Abbey pumping station in Leicester very similar to Papplwicks

These Victorian buildings whether stone,brick or cast iron will be around long after the concrete buildings have been demoilished crushed down to secondary aggregates and reused to build more forgetable follies
